Reviews Customer Reviews for Songs From An American Movie Vol 2 Good Time For A Bad Attitude      A little rough but true Everclear      Rating:      A lot like the first "Songs" but a little bit rougher, not quite as polished. But like most Everclear you need to listen to the lyrics to get a deep appreciation for the music. The quality of the recoprding seems not to be so terrific, but in general it is good (not great) classic Everclear.     Customer Reviews for Songs From An American Movie Vol 2 Good Time For A Bad Attitude Cd      Worse than Volume 1, by a long shot.      Rating:      What little "Volume 1" had to offer, "Volume 2" has even less. There is not one single memorable tune. It's all Everclear-sounding songs, but nothing that jumps out and says, "Hey, listen to me again!" Competently done, well played, well produced...but utterly inconsequential. "Rock Star" even sounds like an Everclear cover band song, like somebody was trying to imitate Alexakis and company. This was WAY boring, I thought. Editorial Reviews for Songs From An American Movie Vol 2 Good Time For A Bad Attitude Audio Cd      Amazon.com      If scientists strived to merge crunchy, hook-heavy pop-rock-punk and the super-shiniest production techniques this side of Smashing Pumpkins, the result would probably sound exactly like Everclear's Songs from an American Movie, Vol. 2: Good Time for a Bad Attitude. It's a hit-or-miss outing. On the one hand, it's a step up from the tepid Songs from an American Movie, Vol. 1, and it takes the boys back to the loose but mighty muscularity that made Sparkle and Fade such a delight. Art Alexakis and company take some chances, like the funky groove of "Babytalk" and the ballad to bombast and back again of "Out of My Depth." On the minus side, the production is so slick that there's no friction, and rock music without friction is like, well, like large chunks of this Attitude. Definitely a mixed bag from Everclear. --Jason Josephes
